Summer, glorious summer, is finally upon us, and there’s something sexy in the air.

In addition to the great weather and time off, this season brings with it feelings of adventure and opportunity. It’s the perfect time for barbecues, beach trips and bikinis. Plus, it’s a proven fact that everything gets sexier in the summer! There are more people out and about, meaning more opportunities to flirt with someone new. Of if you’re already settled down, summer presents endless opportunities to turn up the heat on your sex life!

No matter where you’re getting busy, or who with, no summer sex-capades would be complete without the necessary tools. Here are five sex tips & tricks that are really worth exploring in the sizzling hot days ahead…

Do you feel like the sex talk you received in junior high left a little something to be desired? Well you’re not alone.

Sure, that awkward sex ed class in high school may have prepared you for what to expect in the backseat of your mom’s minivan after prom. It did nothing, however, to prepare you for grown up sex, and more importantly, grown up sexual relationships. There is more to sex than what goes where, but once you get passed the age of the birds and the bees, there are very few resources at your disposal (besides Google, of course).

When you’re knee deep in the shopping mall trenches, you may find yourself longing for the more simple holidays. When did Flag Day ever cause this much stress?

While I can’t help with the gift-wrapping, or the holiday traffic, and I certainly can’t protect you from those awkward family get togethers, here is something I can do: A Sexy Holiday Gift Guide, from me to you!

One of the most detrimental issues that can crop-up if you’re in a long-term relationship is the lack of communication around sex.

Sure, it seems simple enough to just talk to each other, but it can be so hard to get the conversation started. Especially if talking about sex is unchartered territory, as it is for many couples.

A fun and sexy way to open up communication with your partner is with a sensual massage. Of course a sensual massage might leads to sex (which is never a bad thing) but more importantly it also leads to better communication. Not just verbally, but through the body as well, which is one of the most effective kinds of communication in a relationship.

“What makes truly mind-blowing sex?”

We asked listeners, followers (from Facebook and Twitter) and overall fans of Emily to think back to an amazing sexual encounter and tell us what made it so incredible.
